The Weekly Catch
I finally escaped for a few hours of fishing yesterday on South Boulder Creek. Flows were low and I think I saw one midge in the air. Many anglers had the same idea I did this day when the temps were 60+ fahrenheit. I hiked a mile or so downstream to some uninhabited water and started casting a size 22 CDC-winged midge. After no action for a while I switched to my old standby, a size 16 Royal Wulff, and within minutes enticed three fish to sample the point of my hook. I finally ended up catching the longest nine inch trout on the planet and called it a day. On the hike out, my body and lungs were screaming at me...."You've been working too hard, you fool!"
This week's featured item at Vintage Fly Tackle is a Maurice Noel salmon/steelhead reel that is begging to find a good home soon. Maurice is no longer offering this model and he made only ten like this one. It has anodized aluminum rims and sideplates. 4 1/8" diameter with 1 1/2" wide spool. Weighs 16 3/4 oz. Capacity is WF11+200yds 20#. Click on the photo for more details.

Sometimes a consignor asks us to do this simply because they aren't looking for top-dollar, but are just wanting to sell it quickly and pass it on to someone else who will appreciate it.
